Dear readers,
If your Rules of Golf governing body is the USGA (which it is if you live in the U.S., its territories, or Mexico), you may order one or two free copies of the Player’s Edition of the Rules of Golf. Your only cost will be for shipping and handling. If you wish to purchase the full Rules of Golf, an expanded version of the Rules described as “the primary Rules resource for officials,” the cost is $5. Visit this website to order:
For those of you who are governed by the R&A, you may visit the R&A shop (https://shop.randa.org) and order both the Rules of Golf 2019 and the Player’s Edition of the Rules of Golf. I would highly recommend you order both books, as they are both free – your only cost is shipping.
Canadians may order rulebooks from Golf Canada at this link:

There are actually three books for 2019:
• Player's Edition of the Rules of Golf (abridged version of the Rules, designed for the player)
• Rules of Golf (designed for officials, my recommendation for those who want the full version of all the playing rules)
• Official Guide to the Rules of Golf (replacement for the Decisions book)
